Abstract: Employee #1 was standing on a concrete curb that was 18 in. from two stacks of steel plates that were to be placed over an open trench. An excavator was moving out of the way so a loader could place the plates over the trench when the track of the excavator struck the top steel plate and moved it toward the curb. Employee #1 had just stepped off the curb and was stepping back onto it when the plate moved. His foot was pinned against the curb for approximately 3 0r 4 seconds before the excavator moved and released the plate. Employee #1's foot was crushed.
